[Hypercontent-users] How to read groups.xml from the CAS server.

[tom t. <j_l...@ya...>]

Hi Alex,

In our setup, during the CAS authentication (we do
part of authorization as well and fill additional
attributes to the principal).

Assume when a HC author login to the CAS and control
passes to the Uportal there is a link (HREF) to the HC
server for auhoring.

Well.... the question is if some other staff (not a HC
 user) we do not want to show the link to HC.

So what would be the best way to check whether the
given user is a HC user (e.g auther) during the CAS
authentication level, so that we can populate the
principal and pass back to uPortal.


Currently am thinking of providing a servlet in HC Web
Application which reads the groups.xml and check
whether the given user is inside the xml. And this
servelet will be called from the CAS machine
(URLConnection).

Let me know your thoughts on this.

It is assumed that HC authors are listed in the
groups.xml and HC server is a seperate box similar to
the CAS box
